Another speed limit reduction on A71 Livingston to Edinburgh
Discussion
Use this road twice a week collecting my laddie from his mums and noticed tonight there's now a 40 Limit from about a mile prior to Dalmahoy/Ratho turn right through to about a mile past said crossroad/junction.
It's not a hugely fast road at the best of times and I know there's been a couple of bad accidents there in the past few years but this is an rural A Road that has very few turns off's and junctions. Have they gone too far? It wasn't long ago they put up warning signs about the Ratho/Dalmahoy junction that periodically flash on approach to warn you, but now to have a 40 limit? I can still remember when it was NSL the whole way. On a Saturday night when it's quiet it's a road you can easily do the NSL along other than a couple of places, never mind sticking to 50 but 40MPH is very slow on it. Thoughts?
